“They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.” ― F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

This is 👀 “Kushner’s counsel, however, said Kushner did not make any agreements or arrangements with leaders or officials in foreign countries that were not agreed to by the President of the United States and in the best interests of the United States.”

❗❗❗Mark Zuckerberg's meta just suspended the No Kings Instagram account. I just rushed back from my local No Kings to jump on this. Bottom line, would be helpful for all pro-No Kings folks to elevate the issue and help us get the word out about No Kings today. The Nerd Reich strikes again.

This story manages to be much sleazier than it even sounds. Also includes a major cameo from fmr Rep Mark Green who resigned in July 2025 saying he was needed like REALLY QUICKLY in the private sector. Apparently to bill a cool million to get waivers for this arms deal.

First day at this huge and very very busy beer bar on the LES and the long time bartender was weird and mean-girling me so I waited til it got really busy and I said 'yeah you can do this yourself' and peaced out

I hate them so much.

Stop what you are doing because you need to read this. Billions of dollars in oil trades were perfectly timed to Trump’s decision to back off attacking Iranian power plants. Trump announced the reversal just 15 minutes after those trades were placed.

Vote. Stunning photos

😬 Katie Zacharia's first press briefing was brutally bad 😬 Trump managed to find a press secretary who can barely read, but she does have the number one qualification -- looking like Ivanka Here's a supercut from Zacharia's first briefing, which made Karoline Leavitt seem like Ronald Reagan

Here are the details: literally any time, any place, any network.

Fox host: President Trump said you all should have a debate… Is that in the works? Are you requesting one with him? Ken Paxton (lying): Oh well, no, look... We can never quite work out the details.

One year ago today, I got a life-altering phone call: Trump administration demanding my resignation or would fire me as Director of Eisenhower Pres. Library. I had over 27 years of federal service (civilian & military). This was my wife’s Facebook post about it. I married so out of my league.

As a former college journalist, and an irrepressible loud mouth, I applaud the editorial board at the Cornell Sun. Let the successful actions of these students in shaming the prosecutor and other adults to do their jobs awaken the silent amongst us. www.cornellsun.com/article/2026...

cornellsun.comEDITORIAL | Cornell Won’t, We WillThe Editorial Board demands that Cornell stops protecting the alleged Chi Phi rapists through the University's opaque sexual assault policies.

If the ballroom construction is such a sensitive national security matter, why is Trump inviting the Chinese delegation on a tour???

"If anybody wants to walk into a construction site ... "-- Trump's big surprise at the state dinner with Xi is inviting everybody in the room to the ballroom construction site

These “Jaws” fanatics took their love of the film a step further: They recreated it, scene by scene. The Globe's Emily Sweeney went to Quincy to meet the men behind (the aptly named) “Quincy Jaws" movie.
